Principal's blog

In 2018 APHS has committed to undertaking Positive Behaviour for Learning. Thanks to the hard work of the Welfare Team, PB4L Team, Ms. Pinzin and Ms. Malcolm lots of work has been done creating the school’s behaviour matrix and developing individualised lessons so that students can be explicitly taught the pro social skills that will allow them to be successful at school, in the work place and wider community.

Positive Behaviour for Learning, known as PBL is an evidence-based whole school systems approach that:

addresses the diverse academic and social needs of every student to support them to be successful

supports students in early childhood settings through to senior years of schooling

enables schools to establish a continuum of supports that are intensified to meet the needs of every student

is team driven, using a problem solving approach (data, systems and practices) that engages students, parents and all school staff

establishes positive social expectations for all in the school community

provides a framework for the school and its community to collectively support the wellbeing of every student

​The core values that the school is focussed on is around: respect, success and responsibility and I look forward to having many opportunities to celebrate with students who demonstrate these value every day they come to school at APHS.At Arthur Phillip High School I STRIVE to:

RESPECT– To be polite and courteous to others and show respect for all members of the school communitySUCCESS– To learn, participate and realise my potentialRESPONSIBILITY ​– To recognise and understand my obligations as a member of the APHS community.
